In Hinduism

Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyṇa)

: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama Texts

Ѳḍḍܰ첹 (मड्डुक) refers to a type of “drum� (used for invoking the gods), as discussed in chapter 35 of the ŚīśԲṃh: a Pāñcarātra text comprising 5500 Sanskrit verses covering a number of subjects ranging from selecting a temple site through building and furnishing it to sanctifying and maintaining worship in the sacred complex.—[Cf. the chapter ܳ󲹲ٳ貹Բ-徱-𱹲Բ-Գٲ-]. [...] The utsavabera-icon is again brought out, placed in a special ṇḍ貹 beside a ṇḍ-design on which has been placed a ḍḍܰ첹-drum. This instrument is sanctified, whereupon the Ācārya beats it to the accompaniment of invocational stanzas addressed to all the gods to come to mahotsava (25-71). Once this is finished, the gods who have “come� are given bali-offerings in the streets of the village (72-152). Once the drum has been sounded, no citizen should leave the village till the completion of the mahotsava (153-156).
